MEDITECH's Client/Server Health Care Information System (HCIS) version 5.6.4 Electronic Health Record has received complete EHR inpatient certification. Hospitals running MEDITECH's certified solutions have the software tools needed to meet the Stage 1 Meaningful Use measures required to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

MEDITECH's EHR was tested and certified through the Drummond Group, under the Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program. 

Our Client Server HCIS certification encompassed both required and optional components, including: Patient Care and Patient Safety, Physician Care Manager, Emergency Department Management, Enterprise Medical Record, Pharmacy, Laboratory, Microbiology, Scanning and Archiving, Data Repository, Health Information Management (HIM), CCD Exchange Suite, Public Health Interfaces for Laboratory and Immunization Reporting, and NPR Report Writer.

"The recent certification of our Client/Server EHR, as well as our previously announced MAGIC EHR, will greatly assist our customers as they move forward with their electronic health records initiatives," states Hoda Sayed-Friel, vice president of marketing at MEDITECH. "We're also excited to announce that certification of our 6.0 platform is planned for early 2011."
